Closing the Training Gap on Addiction Can Save Lives.
Article in Delaware journal of public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Despite treating tens of millions of Americans affected by substance use disorder, most clinicians receive little formal training on SUD. The gap leaves providers underprepared and patients feeling unwelcome, creating a cycle of avoidance that contributes to low treatment uptake and preventable overdose deaths. This piece argues that stigma and knowledge deficits, not lack of empathy, drive that breakdown. Drawing on direct experience piloting Shatterproof's Provider's Pathway training with psychiatry residents, the author shows how targeted education on non-judgmental communication, FDA-approved treatments, and screening tools can shift provider confidence and patient trust. The training is relevant beyond addiction specialists, extending to primary care, emergency medicine, and other settings where SUD routinely surfaces. Provider's Pathway is offered as one concrete, scalable intervention in a system that has consistently asked clinicians to do more with less.
